TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Be discriminating. The difference between failure and success is doing a thing nearly right and doing a thing exactly right. Examine all the pieces of the puzzle before you begin to put it together.

Expect a surge of popularity in October, when your ability to impress others with your sincerity and worthiness is at a high point. That is a great time to break out of a dead end job or relationship and put new commitments into motion.
